About This Perfume
African Rooibos Intens by Chris Collins is a Oriental Spicy fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. African Rooibos Intens was launched in 2025. Top notes are Bergamot, Cardamom and Black Pepper; middle notes are Rooibos Tea, Vanilla and Orris; base notes are Tonka Bean, Immortelle, Cedarwood and Ambroxan. African Rooibos Intens by Chris Collins is built around a rooibos tea accord accented with warm spices and woods. The fragrance opens with bright bergamot and aromatic cardamom, sharpened by black pepper. A heart of rooibos tea is softened by orris and vanilla, leading into a base of cedarwood, tonka bean, immortelle and ambroxan that adds depth, sweetness and a modern ambery nuance.
